MIDI
To access the MIDI page, you can press number ‘3’ on the keypad: the screen will show you
the 3 available parameters.
1. Channel:
this parameter controls the number of the global MIDI channel (1-16) in Patch
Mode. This parameter is currently ignored in Performance Mode, where the MIDI settings
are defined by the Channels sub-menu and each part’s internal settings (see ‘Performance
Mode’ section in chapter 6).
2. Local:
this option allows you to turn on/off the communication between the keyboard
and the internal sound engine. As 008R has no keyboard, this option is disabled in the
software.
3. Clock:
this option allows you to toggle between internal and external MIDI clock. If using
internal MIDI clock, the Sequencer and the Arpeggiator will be synced to the Tempo
parameter (expressed in BPM - always displayed in the top-right corner of the screen).
When using external, the 008R’s clock will be synced to the MIDI clock coming from an
external source: note that you need the external source to keep sending clock messages,
otherwise the Sequencer and the Animator will not work.
MIDI In
In this page you can individually enable or disable 5 different categories of external MIDI
messages received from the MIDI In port on the back of 008R.
1. Notes:
this parameter enables / disables processing MIDI Note messages (Note On, Note
Off and Velocity)
2. Control:
this option enables / disables processing MIDI Control Change messages
3. Patch:
this option enables / disables processing MIDI Bank and Program Change
messages
4. AfterTouch:
this option enables / disables processing MIDI Aftertouch messages
5. PitchBend:
this option enables / disables processing MIDI Pitchbend messages
6. Pbend Range:
this option scales the range the internal voices interpret incoming MIDI
Pitchbend messages in semitones
